First game of 23/24 season.

[Colin C No.3]

Which opposition would you ideally like to kick off the new season against?

I’ll go for Brad City.

Home or away I’m not fussed. Either way the opposition will guarantee a big crowd.

[mushRTID]

No preference but purely as a prediction;

Tranmere (a)

[glosterred]

Home game, don’t care who


COYR

[roversdude]

Selfish reasons - Harrogate away then I wouldn’t be interested in the scramble for tickets due to being away

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Would normally like an away game but on this occasion, a home game to showcase our new beginning, manager, players, shirts, catering etc etc. Really want to see the place as full as possible so for that reason I would like Wrexham, for all the interest that will stir.

Yes, I know the boot was on the other foot when we beat Leyton Orient all those years ago, but it would be great if we could shut a few up with a win in the full glare of the media.

A few weeks ago I wanted Wrexham away but I've got a really busy July and August coming up so Wrexham at home for me too and for the same reasons as you.
Be great to KO with a 10k plus home crowd.

[Bezza]

Notts County away, big crowd and atmosphere,

[Branton Red]

An away game please. I'm away on holiday on the opening weekend.

Sutton, Gillingham, Wimbledon, Colchester or Crawley

[andy didcott]

It’s Wrexham at home.

[Thorney]

Home, Stockport. Big crowd.

Think if we get Wrexham then it will be a Friday night for tv

[graingrover]

Notts County away to test our mettle!

[Peebles Rover]

I’d like an easy game at home. get a win, and a nice confidence boost!

[scawsby steve]

With a new manager, new players, and a new way of playing, it might take a while for it all to gel. Clubs like Wrexham, Notts County, Stockport, and Bradford will have momentum from last season. I'd rather be playing them later.

Morecambe at home would do me for starters. 

[Campsall rover]

Home, Stockport. Big crowd.

Think if we get Wrexham then it will be a Friday night for tv

Always a Championship match on TV the 1st Friday night.

[Campsall rover]

I’d like an easy game at home. get a win, and a nice confidence boost!

And which games will be easy?
No such thing.

Some may turn out to be easy but no one can say which ones will be if any.

I knew someone would respond with that as I wrote it. Maybe Crawley at home?

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Let's have Swindon at home.

[swain_drfc]

Crewe away

[danumdon]

May as well start as we mean to go on, Wrexham at their place, steal their thunder when everyone expects different.

Head up and straight in, no pussyfooting about.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Notts County away, Barrow home, Walsall away, Mansfield away, I reckon.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Home, Stockport. Big crowd.

Always a Championship match on TV the 1st Friday night.

The rules have changed about the number of EFL games that can be shown outside the 3pm Saturday kick off.

Can't remember the numbers but isn't it summat like 30 odd more games across the EFL?

[pib]

Surprised to see a lot of folk wanting the big hitters to start with like Stockport, Wrexham, Notts etc. I'd rather have a winnable looking home game like Crawley or Newport.

Not saying any game will be easy but we quite often seem to get these games where we're the incidental part of a wider narrative and it never feels like it ends that well for us.

[Copps is Magic]

It will be tinpot fc away. Think of the most tinpot team in the league and we'll be playing them away. Their backs will be up at the prospect of playing massive DRFC and tonk us 2-1. Setting in motion a miserable season.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

[Dagenham Rover]

It'll be one of the promoted teams or one of the relegated teams !

[ncRover]

Grimsby at home would be ideal. Big crowd and atmosphere but not a strong side.

Generally speaking, MK Dons seem to be going under people’s radars when mentioning the strong teams. I’d put them as favourites.

[Michael Shaw]

For 2 and a half years we have been on a massively downward trajectory heading for relegation from league two next season.
We are often late sacking managers or replacing managers and start building the new team half way through the transfer window.
Things have drastically changed this season with McCann’s appointment and all these early signings which hopefully means we can hit the season running. I will follow the bookie’s odds and hope we face some of the top teams early on and we give them a good hiding because we are better prepared. Just bring it on whoever it is. I have faith in McCann.

[Campsall rover]

Notts County away, Barrow home, Walsall away, Mansfield away, I reckon.

That’s tough on the opening day. Prefer it if we  can we play them at 3 day intervals at least please.

I suppose at least you didn’t pick Gillingham and Barrow away out of those 4 games.
That would have been some day. 

[Campsall rover]

It'll be one of the promoted teams or one of the relegated teams !

Or one of the other 17 teams. 

[scawsby steve]

It'll be one of the promoted teams or one of the relegated teams !

Or one of the other 17 teams. 

Here I come, Camps, with my unmistakable pedantry.

It's 18 other teams.

Ignore me, Camps. Swain has just put me right.
